AB01. How an Old Version RSLogix/Studio 5000 Opens a PLC Project with Higher Version

[@stevea1555]

Well done on a great explanation. I have used this video to create a version 17 program so i can import a program and then downgrade the PLC version to version 16 which is in the PLC processor L55. This is because you can not import programs in version 16 and lower and you cannot update L55 processor to version 17 and higher.

Welcome! You also have a nice channel!

Thank you for the great video. I am having Studio 5000 V34 software installed on my laptop and I need to open project file, which is saved on version 20.01. Is there anyway to open this file. ( Controller is 1768-L43. Thanks in advance

[@electricalautomation]

Using a higher version of software should be able to open an old revision of project. You can try to open it.

Hi! We're trying to upload a v28 program to a v31.11 but it failed. Is there any way or method on how to upload an older studio5000 version to a new version? Thanks

[@electricalautomation]

You have to use the matched software to upload the PLC. Use V28 RSlogix5000 to upload the V28 PLC. I know it is pain. But you can install v28 and v31 in one windows system. they can be installed and coexist. I recommend you Ghost your OS before you install the RSlogix software

Hi dear, May I ask help. Please convert my version 31 file to version 30. Or please provide me my version 31 file's L5K extension.

[@electricalautomation]

I could try, you can send your project to my email, and I would appreciate you could donate my time on your conversion, it would take me 0.5 - 1 hour.

Can I open ver 30 using Ver24 Studio5000?

[@electricalautomation]

This is the topic in this video.

[@Instrumentation-Control-Eng]

hello Sir i am trying to open a V30 File on studio 5000 V28 program with this method but the project does not open what should I do

[@electricalautomation]

There are some different scenarios in the video, please review carefully, and make sure you changed "IE_VER" and "Major" in the L5K file when you try to use V28 to open a project from V30. Note, this method might not work if the project has some special modules. The method showing in the video is just for your reference. Please check the video around 12.30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXe0lH-rZdGci8k

[@AartiSharma-ri8tz]

It is possible with plantpax4 library

[@Instrumentation-Control-Eng]

it does not give me option to save as .acd format when I open .L5k file

[@electricalautomation]

Probably your *L5k was not modified correctly. Please review the video, there are a couple of places to be modified. Thanks for watching!

[@germancanahuire6782]

It is possible to change v 20 to v 32. Excellent video, thank you

[@electricalautomation]

You can use RSLogix5000 open this project and save as a L5K file. Then use Studio 5000 to import this L5K. While importing this file, select the v32 and CPU, then you can open the project with V32.

Can i use version 16.4 on windows 10 ? Or would i be forced to upgrade and use studio ?

[@electricalautomation]

As I checked, the 16.5 is compatible with Win10. compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/SelectedFeatureAttribute.aspx?crumb=118&rnf=0&isRP=0&featureID=8963&versions=57334. You could upgrade 16.4 to 16.5.

[@ronnyoo9371]

@@electricalautomation thanks idn how i missed it , also any clue how i can get rs5k and i fix it to communicate ? Together

[@electricalautomation]

To download the RSLogix5000 or Studio5000, you need activation code which you have to purchase. Use the link above, seraching the software you can find, but then you need to type in the code for download

How can I open a version 17 on Studio 5000 V30, for exemple

[@electricalautomation]

Hi thanks for watching, this video talks about an alternative way to "open/convert backwards". According to your question, are you asking about how to use a Studio5000 V30 opens a project which was a program by version 17? Please note, since the software and hardware version must match, and the old version (below V20) controller CAN NOT upgrade its firmware above V20 (V20 is a watershed), therefore, it means you can use RSLogix 5000 V20.5 to open this V17 upgrading it to V20, and also you need to upgrade CPU firmware from V17 to V20. For your reference. Please correct me if my answer is wrong or misunderstood your question.
